Ok, first of all please do not tell me how stupid l am for doing/considering/taking about this...

l used to have the view of drugs that they were 'bad' and to just stay clear...
Lately all that is been changing.The main substances/drugs i'm thinking about are mMariana, tobacco, alcohol, MDMA(ecstasy) and cocaine.

From most to least dangerour l would put:
1) Cocaine
2) MDMA
3) Marujania
4) Tobacco
5) Alcohol

Now after talking to MANY different people about this it seems to go something like this:
1) Alcohol
2) Tobacco
3) Cocaine
4) Marujania
5) MDMA

Reasons for this include the HUGE death rate of both alcohol and tobacco. This is a quote from an article l read:''It is estimated that tobacco causes 40 percent of all hospital illnesses, while alcohol is involved in more than 50 percent of all visits to hospital emergency rooms''

l bet the other drugs are only about 1-2% at most.The death rate due to these substances is also higher.

MDMA itself does not casue death.It is usually caused by dehydration or drinking too much water...both of these can be (and are by people l know) monitered whilst on the drug and nothings happened.
l also have friends who have taken cocaine and each person has a different view of how it went...some LOVE it and feel in control of how much they are taking where as others feel it is too short of a high and would cost too much to keep doing.

l know marujania has risks of mental health problems...but so does alcohol.Alcohol can cause physosis.As far as l know the risk of this happening with this drug is relatively low.

I've recently found out just how dangerous tobacco actually is.Today l was told one in two smokers die of a related illness.So basically flip a coin and see what happens...

This is not the case with the others..

What people have told me is that the reason weed was made illegal was because of Mexicans immegrating to America YEARS ago.Apparently they were much harder workers and taking loads of jobs etc.They also smoked weed a lot...so whenever a crime was commited and blamed on the Mexicans it was said that they were high of their face on weed...therefor leading onto banning it.

l have NO idea how true that is but it is what l was told.

I am just confused..i feel like i'm hearing SO many different things and do not know who/what to believe.l know many people who have taken illegal drugs and it has not affected them in a bad way atall...

So yeah....please help striaghten this out in my mind..

Urghh....spell check is not working so l pasted onto word then pasted back on another page.Then posted this old one.

l can not spell to save myself so excuse my bad spelling/grammer.

Marujania=Marijuana

Thanks for reading aswell...any advice appretiated.

(Just to add- i'm 18 years old, fm and have had alcohol, tobacco, MDMA and weed) I am a binge drinker (a bad one at that) and l do not do weed that often atall!

Thanks.

Hey,

l can honestly tell u drugs r not good & l will give u some reasons..

Marijuana as u said can cause mental health problems as can alcohol but the mental health effects from marijuana r more severe leading to, depression, suicidal thinking & schizophrenia, early age users r especially vunerable to these health effects. You were wrong about physical effects, the risk of heart attack more than quadruples within the first hour of using marijuana & increases blood pressure & heart rate & lowers oxygen levels. Marijuana users also experience problems with their lungs & an increased risk of lung cancer. l think u already know about tobacco & r hesitant to use it which is good, my dad is suffering severe heart & lung problems from smoking so please do not smoke, l think u already know the effects of it so l do not need to tell you. Cocaine effects r extremely detrimental on the body & the consequences related to cocaine effects can eventually lead to permanent damage, addiction & death. While each person who uses this drug reacts to it differently, there r two distinct categories of cocaine effects: short-term effects & long-term effects. Even if a person has only used cocaine once, he/she can experience short-term cocaine effects. Long-term cocaine effects appear after increased periods of use & r dependent upon the duration of time & amount of cocaine that has been consumed. Long term effects include heart disease, heart attacks, respiratory failure, strokes, seizures, & gastrointestinal problems. Other physical symptoms include convulsions, nausea, blurred vision, chest pain, fever, muscle spasms, & coma. Other long-term cocaine effects include:

Addiction
Paranoia
Irritability
Restlessness
Auditory hallucinations
Mood disturbances

Ecstacy can cause heart problems such as high blood pressure or blood clots, depression, exiety, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, kidney disease, parkinsons, tourettes & other neurological conditions.

You also need to get help for ur drinking because well l am sure u know the effects from that.liver damage, death, addiction etc.

Your friends might not have any health effects while taking drugs but they will most likely suffer long term effects if they carry on. You can also get yourself into extreme dept & money troubles from spending all ur money on drugs, they r trouble please do not do them,

Email me if u need more information :)

Bryony is right Hmm. that is the best truthful answer you will get here. most people who are slaves to their demons are great pretenders and in front of you they act like their addictions are not doing them much harm but behind closed doors they suffer like hell. learn from others mistakes, do not make them yourself. Seek out positive from reliable sources before believing what is said randomly by the lucky ones who have not yet suffered the full effects of their poison of choice.

There is no reason to be confused. People have passionate opinions because everyone is struggling to fight against feeling bad some of the time.

But doctors all agree. Alcohol & tobacco r familiar to us because they have been part of our experience throughout the country is history.

Cocaine, marijuana, & MDMA r less familiar.

But even though it seems to be impossible to eradicate alcohol & tobacco, there is no dispute about the fact that alcohol is involved in an incredible percentage of fatal car accidents (and in date rape) & tobacco leads to the tragedy of incurable lung cancer which steals cherished family members away from their husbands & wives & children & grandchildren before their time.


Cocaine has destroyed the nation of Columbia & the billions users spend goes to support drug traffickers & warlords & organized crime.

90% of the world is heroin comes from Afghanistan, financing narco-terrorism. Our soldiers r dying today trying to bring democracy to that poor wartorn country.

Marijuana & MDMA r not deadly in themselves--other than killing ur brain cells & stealing away ur precious memories--but every time u buy, u put money into a criminal industry that recruits children into gangs where they learn to be gangbangers. They r given guns & then, when the police catch them, they're sent off to prison & their lives r destroyed. They spend the rest of their lives being turned down for jobs because no one wants to HIRE a convicted drug dealer.

And they r ''gateway drugs''. They welcome unsuspecting teenagers into a world of having fun breaking the law. When they experience stress, they turn to drugs instead of handling their problems & their moods the right way. Some end up addicted, losing girlfriends, losing money, losing their jobs, & dropping out of school.

There r many different ways to harm yourself.

You could just take a hammer & pound on ur thumb on the table.

But why? Love yourself. Defy the haters. Ignore the bad suggestions made by the entertainment media about how to dress & how to live ur life.

Love yourself, love others.

Happiness comes from love & hard work. Feeling good about yourself comes from doing the right thing. Drugs just leaving people feeling worse & worse & worse until they can not think of any way to make themselves feel better other than to take more drugs.

The saddest person in any community is the crackwhore. Talk to her. She is the best teacher in the world. The lesson is clear for all to see. Drugs make u less happy each time u take them. So why even start?

The technique dealers use is they give high-quality drugs for FREE to one influential person to share with all of his friends.

They're free at first . . . & then u pay for the rest of ur life.
